Stop. Right now. Stop reading this and look at your hands. Ponder them for a few moments.

Hands are marvelous. With them, we feed and groom ourselves, build shelter, communicate, express love, learn, and play. They are capable of intricate as well as broad movment. They are pretty sturdy, considering their exposure to the elements and the degree with which they are used.

They are capable of destructive acts as well, being as they are an extension of the human will.

Take some time to really see your hands. Consider how you use them. Write about how your hands have served you. Love your hands, and be grateful.
